Starter Sets

Welcome to Our Giant Selection of O Gauge Train Sets

If you are getting started in the great hobby of railway modelling, there is no better way than with a starter set or train set and we are the go to shop as our selection is as big as any in the world!

O Gauge is 1:43 Scale and was historically a popular scale in the UK as well as in the USA where it is usually 1:40 Scale.  The larger size is more imposing and for that reason, it is easier to handle although you do need a lot more space if your ambition is to build a large layout.  However, there are some spectacular smaller layouts that have been constructed based around small shunting yards or single track terminus stations so this larger scale should be carefully considered as a very viable option.

The most popular (and only) brand of train set is Gaugemaster who produce sets using commercially available products from other suppliers as a collaborative innovation.

Train sets are an ideal gift and a popular birthday present and of course, who wouldn’t want to receive a train set for Christmas?

When buying a train set as a gift, you might want to consider a track or building extension set as a supplementary gift as this will add operational interest right from the start, as a thoughtful and useful addition.

We are one of the largest suppliers of O Gauge Train Sets in the world and our experienced expert team (who are all modellers themselves) are on hand to guide you with any advice or suggestions you might need.  Enhance your modelling by buying Gaugemaster O Gauge Train Sets directly from Gaugemaster – the model shop for BIG imaginations.
